This reminds me of something that puzzles me about the USA - a lot of people made lots of money during the Internet boom, and I'm sure some of those new millionaires are fans of avant-garde music, but I haven't seen any foundations supporting the avant music scene. Yes, I know, a lot of that money is gone now, but I personally know a few people who cashed out at the right time alongside a bunch who did not. Before Patrice beats me down, let me say that I don't think that, say, AMM deserve someone's money because they are obscure. But if I wound up with a few million dollars in my lap, one of my main priorities would be to put some of my money into a foundation to fund the activities of artists I like. 01:58 PM 7/23/2002 +0200, you wrote:
I hope some of the Swiss ZornListers can help out, but my take on the Swiss funding system is, that every corporation that makes any profit, is obliged to donate to Swiss culture.
So in the case of Hat Art cd's, the government made UBS choose where they should invest/ donate their percentage of profit. Good choice, huh? Too bad it stopped, though.
I really like this idea of funding. Not only avantgarde art gets support that way, also mainstream jazz label TCB benefits from these 'culture laws'.

it wasn´t Swiss government but UBS (formerly Swiss Bank Corporation). Perhaps there´s no great difference or the first are the employees of the latter?

Anyways, don't miss out! Hat editions come and go very quickly, and now that the label has lost its funding from the Swiss government, it's uncertain that they will be around to again re-issue this in the future.
